Unfortunate event in the air.

Following a heart attack, a flight attendant passed away in midair. Last Tuesday, the incident took place aboard a flight operated by Bahrain’s national carrier, Gulf Air.

Flight attendant Yasser Saleh Al Yazidi battled for his life at a height of 10.36 kilometers while the aircraft was flying from Bahrain International Airport to Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.

In order to get Yasser medical assistance, Airbus A321 pilots were compelled to make an emergency landing in Erbil, in Iraq’s Kurdistan area. A medical crew arrived on the aircraft and transferred the injured flight attendant right away to a nearby hospital. When they arrived, they declared him dead.

Before passengers could continue their trip to Paris, the Airbus was in Erbil for around four hours. The plane was more than 10 kilometers above Iraqi territory when the emergency occurred, according to Ahmed Hoshyar, the airport director, who spoke to local media.

The national carrier extends its sincere sympathies to the crew member’s family and loved ones and verifies that the flight to Paris has gone according to schedule, according to a Gulf Air statement.

The airline wrote in the letter that “passenger and crew safety is a high concern and thanks the affected flight’s passengers for their patience and understanding.”

In the event that major medical issues happen during a commercial flight, pilots are typically required to make an emergency landing at a suitable airport as most commercial flights do not have specialized medical equipment or a doctor on board.
